Anyone know of summer funding opportunities or paid work for seminarians? Was planning to live in a Catholic Worker house next summer, in community and solidarity with refugees/migrants, but my grant application has been denied. ⚓️

I appreciate their gesture, but I'm disappointed they stopped short of naming the execution that's scheduled in Tennessee for December 11 or asking the Governor to stop it.

and is something I may have to think about eventually, but I’m more worried about caring for the Body of Christ if their rights are stripped away by the government.

That’s a big presumption, in some dioceses. And I’m much more concerned about how we care for the laity. Is our theology subject to the law of man? Will we revert to some odd piecemeal approach where we believe marriage means different things in different places? Clergy discipline is important…

Hate to say it, but this could be coming up sooner rather than later. @scottagunn.bsky.social - do you know of any conversations around what the day after looks like? ⚓

That seems problematic in many places, for obvious reasons.

Asked about this recently and the response was... not encouraging. ⚓

Is anyone in Big TEC or leadership writing about how the church is going to/should handle marriage if Obergerfell is overturned? The canons require that "Every Member of the Clergy of this Church shall conform to the laws of the State governing the creation of the civil status of marriage." ⚓

It's been 60 years since the murder of Jonathan Daniels! Lord have mercy on us.🕯

Are there any Anglo-Catholic crews making anything for sale? Not to feed the (capitalistic) beast, but I'd love devotional materials outside of just St. Augustine's and ACNA products, the latter of which I try to avoid.

Thank you! Would definitely be interested in your essay when it's done as well.

I’d love to hear more about your thoughts on NAECC. I’ve been interested in CFC and OSF but am an outsider to religious life obviously

Church Pension Group | Clergy Compensation Report

Interesting tidbit - the Clergy Compensation Report defines "full-time" for clergy as 28.85 hours a week (1,500 hours a year) or more. I wonder what the actual average hours per week for full-time clergy is? ⚓

To ponder if we acted like we actually believed the things we say we believe...

I'd love to see a stripped down version for personal use that's just the four offices, propers, lectionary, and readings bound together in one volume.

I love going to services there, but it's definitely a learning curve! SSJE has it all in a binder, so all you need is that with a hymnal, but it obviously doesn't include the readings. There's the Prayer Book Office from the 1980s, but it doesn't include the readings and has other things included.

Just requires one to have the BCP and hymnal open and or flipping back and forth until you’ve memorized the office lol

Maybe I’m just overlooking it, but it looks like the ‘82 only has MP and EP, no noonday office or compline.

I’ll have to check it out - one day away from SSJE and I’m already missing their chanted offices. Thanks!

Anyone have the offices pointed for chant? Episcopal Chant only has compline, and I can’t seem to find the others anywhere online… ⚓️

that comes from THEIR struggle with the text - not what a hyper advanced autocorrect can spit out.

AI can't write a sermon for the same reason a robot can't consecrate the Eucharist - it has no soul, no mind, no vocation to ministry. Outsourcing one's ministry to AI feels, to be honest, sinful. ⚓
